Become more Brazilian in 2024 — Carioca Connection Worksheets!
Learning Brazilian Portuguese is really difficult…
That’s why most people never actually learn how to speak Portuguese. Most people follow some version of the “traditional approach”:
- Spend hours trying to find material
- Sort through websites, apps, blogs, and YouTube
- Memorize tons of vocabulary
- Practice verb conjugations
- Understand complicated grammar concepts that most Brazilian don’t even understand
- Hire private tutors
- Enroll in expensive courses
- Try to talk to AI robots
- The list goes on…
Yet weeks, months, in many cases years — all of this effort is for nothing.
They still can’t speak to Brazilians or understand native-level conversations.
Sound familiar?
There is another way — Carioca Connection Worksheets
We’ve reimagined the old-school textbooks for a more modern efficient method. With our bimodal approach to Brazilian Portuguese, you wil be able to:
What’s included?
Carioca Collection
Our entire body of work, in one place.
More than 250+ episodes intimate and interesting conversations about Brazilian language and culture.
This is the ever evolving story of our relationship with each other, with all things Brazilian, and of course, with you.
Vocabulary boost
Reading & listening at the same time is like flashcards on steroids. You’ll be amazed how much your vocabulary expands organically.
Modern-day textbooks
Behind each conversation, there is a story. We carefully annotate each worksheet to include all of the best vocabulary, links to cultural references and linguistic explanations — transforming each episode into a modern-day textbook.
Communicate confidently
Listening while reading helps you mimic & imitate the natural flow and intonation of Brazilian Portuguese — so you can speak clearly & confidently.
We don’t like to talk about ourselves, but don’t mind if our students do…
“I speak three other languages and can say that for me this is one of the best language instructional programs around!”
★★★★★
“It's exactly what I've been looking for to learn real Portuguese, including all sorts of slang expressions and the little conversational fillers and cues that are part of normal conversations.
The podcasts and worksheets are high quality...hosts Alexia and Foster provide a great look into how a Carioca and an advanced and improving non-native speaker relate to the language.
The mix of topics includes just about anything you can think of in daily life, from ordering in metric units in a supermarket to European Portuguese to Giselle's role in Brazilian life to unique Brazilian expressions to elections and much more.
The episodes about Brazilian music, especially the ones with guest Renato, are worth the cost of the audio and transcripts by themselves. I speak three other languages and can say that for me this is one of the best language instructional programs around. It's a lot of fun!"
“So helpful!”
★★★★★
“As an English speaker, I benefit from listening to both Foster and Alexia speak.
Foster’s accent is easier for me, but the goal is to be able to understand native speakers, so I love being able to experience both in one short episode. I read the transcript and listen to one episode a day. I love picking up on colloquialisms so when I go back to Brazil I will be able to speak and interact naturally with people.
Thanks, Foster & Alexia!”
“Young, fresh, & intelligent!”
★★★★★
“Alexia & Foster provide consistently high quality conversation on a wide variety of topics of interest to anyone wanting to learn about the fascinating country of Brazil in Portuguese.

“The worksheets are definitely worthwhile”
★★★★★
“Foster and Alexia provide you with a wonderful combination of amusing and informative podcasts. For me, these bite-sized recordings are at just the right level in terms of the vocabulary and conversation speed. And these guys are charming, funny and interesting enough to enjoy listening to over and over again. And the worksheets are definitely worthwhile. It’s nice to read along the second time around to see what you missed at first and to help with my written Portuguese. Nice work!”
“See exactly how the sentence was constructed…”
★★★★★
“As a brand new student to Brazilian Portuguese, I am excited to have the oppotunity to listen to such a well-produced, high quality podcast. Alexia and Foster are to be commended fo putting together content that is accessible to absolute beginners but has plenty of content for more advanced learners, as other reviews here attest to. The conversational content isn't contrived, and if something that's said is a bit too quick, or you want to see exactly how the sentence was constructed, you can easily obtain the worksheets. I look forward to getting further into the series. Muito obigrado, Alexia & Foster!”
